CM Yogi: The VB-G RAM G legislation shakes and puts an end to “dig and fill” politics is in opposition
CM Yogi: the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, accused the Congress and the INDIA alliance on Tuesday of rejecting the VB-G RAM G Act because they were afraid of being exposed.
Speaking at a news conference on the new law here, he said that the opposition’s opposition is a reflection of its ongoing support for the corrupt old paradigm.
The Chief Minister joked, “This opposition is not against development; it is driven by the fear of being exposed.”
This news conference, according to Chief Minister Yogi, was required because political parties that plundered the country’s resources for decades, starved the poor, and caused young people to flee are now challenging reforms meant to create a Viksit Bharat.
He said that the Opposition still opposes the Act because doing so would reveal its actual nature.
Despite the fact that the Act is a significant step that benefits farmers, laborers, and rural India, he accused the Congress and the INDIA alliance of continuously casting doubt on it.
“The Opposition is sticking to its old traditions of promoting corruption instead of expressing gratitude to the NDA government,” he remarked.
Yogi Adityanath explained the idea behind Viksit Bharat by saying that states can only advance when villages are empowered, and India can only flourish when its states are developed.
“The main goal of this law is to ensure social security and dignity for workers while also bolstering the rural economy,” he said.
According to the Chief Minister, corruption charges involving temporary and unfinished assets, phony attendance, and salary reduction were common in districts and village panchayats during the Congress and its allies’ tenure.
He cited poor social audits, administrative inefficiencies, persistent salary payment delays, and feeble grievance redressal procedures as characteristics of the previous system.
Yogi said, “These are the very people who dug pits only to fill them again. Naturally, those whose interests have been harmed by the end of ‘dig and fill’ schemes are now raising an outcry.”
In addition, he accused the Samajwadi Party of orchestrating a significant fraud in Sonbhadra under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) when it was in power. According to CM Yogi, a CBI inquiry into the issue is now under progress.
Emphasizing the protections provided by the new legislation, CM Yogi said that the VB-G RAM G Act requires social audits every six months, establishes a time-bound, digital grievance redressal mechanism, and guarantees that audits adhere to Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) standards, eliminating any room for corruption.
“The VB-G RAM G Act will transform rural India,” Yogi said, adding that it protects the rights of farmers and laborers as well as accountability and transparency. Those who oppose it are not opposing the government; rather, they are supporting corruption and opposing growth.
